Who's world is this

 I was really just messing around until i got the whole end of the world concept going. Then I decided to  change whatever was actually on my ipod to nas's Who's world is this. Then of course came the explosions and supernova's. My style is very colorful and flashy, and I like my music rowdy and passionate. So basically this is what it's like to be me, you own the world and your music makes buildings explode.

I chose to do a self portrait that, besides being a photograph of my present self, was also a small glimpse of my future self. I added both an opaque forest and the ocean in the background (where I want to go) to cover my dorm room wall (where I am now). I also adjusted the curves to create greater contrast and the color balance to add warmth.

I chose to do a self portrait that reflects both my style of art and my contemplative personality. I know the light bulb is cliche, but I thought the background and colors went well with the photo of me. I don't tend to make photos that are highly realistic when using photoshop. I like to make them look flawless and as if they could be real, but I lean towards a more fictional reality.

My self portrait shows how I lean towards images that do not depict cheerful expressions and moods.

My self portrait focuses on senses of isolation and separation. I did minimal editing in photoshop, as I like to keep my photography untainted by computers. I played with the curves and blended in a distracting orb of light. Overall the work was done in camera with a remote and a flash.

For this project I was mainly focusing on the idea of not being the same person all the time. I tend to change my personality to best suit the people I am around, so in this picture I decided to use a long shutter speed and moved during the exposure to get the effect of multiple faces. To edit it I used curves to give the image the feel I wanted and turned it black and white using the gradient map tool. I also added an extra ghosty eye using the clone stamp tool.

I wanted to take a self portrait without actually being in the photo myself. I decided to photograph some of my clothes, everything in my pockets, and some objects on my desk. These items are all a good representation of me.

I used "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" to represent that there are things in my life that I wish I could take back. I took three bracketed images and combined them in Photoshop using HDR.

Straight self portrait (photo)

Process:
First, I copied the background to get an unlocked version of the original photo to work with. I wanted to go with a darker, little more morbid feel, so I first made a hue adjustment layer to bring down the saturation, checked colorize with a blue hue, and lowered the opacity.

I wanted to make it bluer around y left eye so I raised the opacity of the layer slightly and filled the entire mask with a mid-high gray shade and took a white brush to totally reveal the blue hue around the eye.

Next, I made another copy of the original photo and applied a Gaussian blur to the layer. I applied a layer ask completely full of white to reveal the layer and filled most of the face closer to the camera with white to hide the blurred part of the image to give it a macro look and feel.

Going on, I too the blurred layer and copied it as another layer, further blurred it and went into the liquefy tool to warp it around the eye. I then made a curves adjustment layer clipped to this layer to over expose it. I then painted over the eye in the layer mask of the blurred layer to only reveal certain parts of the image I wanted.

For the vignette high contrast look, I simply made a new layer, used a radial black and white gradient and set it to color burn at 44% opacity.

Last but not least... For the old photo scratches... I made a new layer, filled it with white, rendered using the fibers filter with low variance and high strength, made a selection of the black fibers with the magic wand, saved it as a layer mask, saved the layer mask in the channels palette, hid the selection, and hand painted with a brush in parts of the imaged over the eye mostly and randomly other places to give visual interest.

That's it. The reason I made the portrait like this is because I recently, before the semester, went blind in m left eye. Its mostly better now, but I'm stuck with 20/70 vision for the rest of my life in the eye... Better then worst than 20/200 though.

When it comes to my work I am trying to change perceptions on what the viewer already considers to be “normal” or “actual”. Not necessarily wanting to change beliefs but mainly rearranging what we take for granted around us and presenting them in an exaggerated or obvious way that grabs our attention. This picture was taken with cardboard cutouts and me standing further away from the camera to make it proportional.

Health and Saftey Module

It is now required that all 100 level classes pass a Health and Safety Module. To begin, you must enroll in the Blackboard 9 website. A “task” will be sent to your myasu account, follow the prompts to self enroll; proceed with watching the video and taking the related quiz. You must pass with an 80% to receive credit. You must repeat the test in additional CORE classes until you receive a 100%. When you achieve a 100% you will be exempt for taking the quiz again and instructed on how to take a screen
capture to maintain a record of your accomplishment. Please note that this in an introduction to safety at ASU and other training sessions will be required in upper division classes as necessary for the studio you will be working in under faculty supervision. So, even though some of the material covered in this module may not seem immediately important it WILL become important as you matriculate though your BFA program.

Instructions:
1. Students must enroll in BB9
2. From the Bb homepage, click the COURSES tab
2
3. Type "SOA" into the Course Search box on the upper left

4. The Health and Safety module is ~3rd from top. Click the Course ID link.
5. Immediately, they're asked if they want to enroll in this course. 

6. Bingo. Self-enrollment done. Proceed with task.
7. To take a screen capture hold apple+shift+3, listen for the shutter sound. (This takes a picture of the screen, a .png file, and places it on your desktop. You may print this and prove to me that got 100%. Be sure to take snapshot before you close the score page, as you will not be able to access it again)
